(00:42):
But above all else, I want to make sure everybody takes
precautions and observes safety procedures in advance of the ice
feet coming back for the season.Bomb balls, Adam took all the
valuables and them, Keska said. Fragile little things out of
them. Summer huts.
No worry there. We're going to chain them doors
up real tight like a crawfish, boil it and make sure all them
(01:03):
Gator lights are charged up to full burst fire crew is on the
job fire. Crew OK remember that nobody
walks over to or back from any of the science stations without
a buddy and a strong light radioin.
If you see here, most likely smell any ice feet around.
Bambos. OK, what else we got Tommy?
(01:26):
Satellite time for research project.
Right, right, right. OK Doctor, Jovac and I posted
the schedule for the next 4 weeks and allotted equal time
and base priority access againstthe schedules all departments
submitted. Y'all need to keep in mind we're
about 8 weeks out from lawman incentive review.
If any gets called to testify. There may be a need to rotate
schedules to accommodate, but we'll deal with that as it gets
(01:46):
closer. Pancakes not, not yet.
Doc almost always missing out onpancakes with these Dang boring
things, Flapjack's notwithstanding, it appreciate
you rotating schedules for me. See, let's see Next up.
A pod maintenance. Say what now?
A pod is due for mechanical and operational inspections.
(02:08):
No, I know what it is. Tell me who authorized that.
This is the first I'm hearing ofit and I'm the chief.
Oh, it was, was. Oh, I'm Keenan.
Up here, less than a month, and he's already gone for my job.
You know what? OK, All right.
If young boy going to schedule like he's in charge, he can be
(02:29):
in charge. Inspection, Make a note in the
duty roster that he's on point for the work.
Oh, Lucille is going to love this one.
Oh, hey there, Seek, I have a question for you.
Go ahead, Miss Alice. Well, now I don't want to be no
bother and I am sure as shouldn't appreciate and all the
hard work you folks are doing down there in the Arches, but
(02:51):
well we've been having problems with the food deliveries coming
up. What you talking about this Lady
Alice? Well, we're sending our weekly
grocery list down to the logistics arch, but well, we
don't always get the goodies we send down for.
And I really want to make you all my famous frog eye salad.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, what? She said.
(03:15):
You know, we asked for more Icy Hot for the gym and we got some
girly smell and body lotion. Is that why you smell like my
aunt Lola Francine? When will the decaf coffee be
replaced? Anytime.
Soon we ordered more printer paper and got 3 ring binders.
Pancakes. I see it people, I do promise.
(03:36):
Give me a day to figure this out, and we'll see about getting
the logistics arts to be more accurate with the shipments up
from the Arches. For right now, please give Tommy
a list of anything critical you need or don't have, and we'll
get them to you quickly. Is that cool?
OK then. Well, I think that's all we have
today then. Thanks for coming by and I'll
(03:57):
see you on the flip side, man, you'll get this figured out,
buddy. You're still getting used to the
new role and responsibilities. Don't beat yourself up.
No, I I get along man, I do. It's just some of the big
changes hitting all at once. You know this gig from
Wainwright to me. You become a Marshall.
All the presence restrictions onforeign national last minute
(04:19):
staffing changes. I'm not saying I expected this
to be easy, but I wasn't thinking there would be a
stacked deck either. I don't know.
I'd call this a stacked deck. Exactly.
I mean, to me it looks more likeyou stepped in to help fill a
gap. Oh, I stepped in.
All right, look, we get changes around here, Bass.
No arguing that. Just not so many big ones all at
(04:42):
once. You know, if and I didn't know
better if and you didn't know any better.
What I'd say it's the ice makingthings go faster.
The ice how? Oh, don't sit there and look at
me like you don't see some hand or force controlling things down
here. Like I have all the answers.
Look, I'm not saying things downhere aren't unusual, but
(05:05):
sometimes things are just the way they are.
No mystery or higher purpose. Just life doesn't mean that fate
or the ice or God. Careful now alone, man.
I was going to say that none of them are necessarily messing
with you or us. What's that saying?
God doesn't give you more than you can handle.
Yeah. Spoiler alert, that ain't
(05:26):
nowhere in the Bible. It's a misquote, Paul.
And you know what? They've gone that old for now.
All right, then tell me what I can do to help seek.
You know I'll do it. I appreciate that.
Bess, can you give me a couple hours to come up with some plan?
And if I need anything, then I will.
Hey, guys. Thomas.
Sorry, I'm sorry. It's well, you better listen to
(05:47):
this. One of the Dexter's was
reviewing incoming radio logs from last month before deleting
them. They flagged this just now.
It came in on the last official day of summer season which we
were celebrating the return of Sydney and everything else.
Now do I please confirm transmission transmitting?
Confirm. I don't know if this is going to
(06:12):
work. I'm trying random phase shifts
and it says Scott can you read me this is Emory water still not
dead. Urgent message.
This line has been altered. Losing carrier wave stability.
Bell bath do not remain on station leave before the winter
(06:35):
season in the last plane or everybody dies.
Why are we just being given thisnow?
Gosh, it came in after last flight departed.
Even if we had heard it, there would have been no way out.
Oh great, now on top of this, I'm going to get blamed for
everybody dying. Anything else go wrong today,
(06:57):
Lord? Want to have me persecuted for
anything else while you're at it.
Just wanted to say thanks Zeke, while we're here.
So long. They brown out pancakes in the
galley. Logistics didn't sound enough
better. I'm having a bad day.
I bet they'd have pancakes if Neil deGrasse Tyson were here.
Recording stopped. Good morning y'all and I hope
(07:27):
all my pollies are doing wonderful this morning.
Today is Thursday, March 9th andit's O 900 on the tip.
This is Miss Cheryl Lynn here with your South Pole daily
announcements. Oh now listen up.
If you've been wanting to spike that volleyball or dive for the
save, now's your chance. The Amundsen aspects are having
(07:51):
their tryouts this week, so markyour calendars because we're
gathering at 1600 sharp on Saturday for some good old
fashioned competition. Coach Glenn's been working hard
to get us ready for the summer 2023 season, but he did ask me
to kindly remind team captain Landry that we might want to lay
off the Cajun hoodoo curses thisyear, especially when we're
(08:13):
playing against the Murdo Mud Dogs.
We want a fair game, not one where the other team gets struck
by an unexpected swarm of locusts or something.
So bring your A game, but leave the hexes at home.
Let's see who's got the chops tomake the team.
All right folks, y'all ready fora little entertainment to kick
(08:34):
off the evening? If you're looking to watch
something that'll make you scratch your head and maybe even
question your life choices, we've got 2 movies lined up
tonight that'll fit the bill. First up at 1900, we've got The
Enchanted Llama, a film the critics have been calling the
most baffling train wreck of 2022.
(08:55):
If you enjoy watching CGI llamastrying to solve crime while
inexplicably bursting into song,this one's for you.
Then at 2100, we've got Jurassicwerewolves, which is exactly
what it sounds like. A bunch of werewolves who've
somehow gotten their paws on dinosaurs.
It's as wild as it sounds, and it's been called a cinematic
(09:16):
nightmare, but hey, maybe you'reinto that kind of thing.
You can catch them in the B1 lounge if you're feeling brave
enough to sit through them. Oh, look at this.
Now we've got some big news fromthe National Science Foundation.
Yep, they're looking for input on the upcoming major station
upgrades as part of what they'recalling the South Pole Station
(09:39):
Master Plan, or SPSMP. That's a whole lot of letters,
but what it means is that they're going to be modernizing
the station and putting in some shiny new infrastructure to
support the future of science here at the South Pole.
They'll be considering everything from the
redevelopment of existing buildings to possibly putting up
some new ones. And they want to hear from you,
(10:00):
the people who live work here, about what it make your
day-to-day life a little easier or better.
Now I reckon some of y'all mighthave some wild ideas, but let me
give you a couple to start us off.
How about a professional cornhole stadium or even a fancy
ballroom for all our parties andevents.
But seriously, send in your thoughts because they're
(10:22):
listening. Oh boy, I sure hope you're ready
for a mighty fine meal today because Lunch Lady Alice got
some good eating lined up for you.
So gather around and let me tellyou what we've got cooking for
lunch and supper today. For lunch we're serving up two
real tasty options. First up, we got fried chicken,
(10:43):
crispy, golden. And just like Mama used to make,
we've also got side of mashed potatoes with gravy.
And don't forget the buttermilk biscuit honey.
Now, if you're looking for something a little lighter,
we've got a grilled chicken salad with all the fixings,
fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a nice ranch
dressing to top it off. And for all my vegetarians out
(11:05):
there, we're taking care of y'all too.
We've got a vegetable stir fry made with all kinds of fresh
veggies, zucchini, Peppers, and onions tossed in a sweet soy
glaze. You won't be missing the meat, I
promise. Or you can try our stuffed
Portobello mushrooms filled witha hearty mix of quinoa, spinach
and cheese and mate to perfection.
(11:26):
Now for dinner tonight, we've got two more options that'll
make your taste buds do a happy little dance.
First, we've got a slow cooked pot roast with all the
trimmings, carrots, potatoes andonions cooked just right.
Y'all, this is comfort food at its finest.
If you're in the mood for something a little lighter, try
our grilled salmon served with wild rice and steamed broccoli.
(11:48):
It's a nice, healthy choice that'll fill you up without
slowing you down. And for my vegetarians?
Again, don't worry, Alice has you covered.
A veggie lasagna made with layers of tender pasta, ricotta
cheese, spinach and marinara sauce.
Or how about a chickpea and spinach Curry?
It's got a nice spicy kick and come served over a bed of
(12:11):
Jasmine rice. Finally, I have an announcement
from our new station manager, Ezekiel Bustamante.
Please submit a list of any sundries y'all need to Thomas so
we can work to get the supply distribution problem solved as
quickly as possible. He wants to thank all of you for
(12:31):
being patient while he and many others are getting acclimated to
their new jobs and responsibilities.
He's going to work to get all the static cleared up as quick
as he can. Bless his heart.
So there you go, you take Care now my polies.
Y'all need anything between now and my announcements tomorrow.
(12:51):
Y'all just holler at me or Mr. Kelly.
You have a wonderful and blessedday.
Thank you. Or everybody died.
That was a message OP Center recorded a month ago.
(13:13):
So the little Crunch Berry is still alive after all.
Good for him. Kind of a scary message though.
We're all going to die if Bass doesn't leave the station or
didn't leave the station before winter started.
I was able to intercept it before the Dexter who first
heard it logged it in Doctor Jovak Wainwright.
None of the Atlas team knows this exists yet.
(13:36):
And I want to keep it that way. It's no sense in letting them in
on this. It does, however, beg the
question. Right.
Like what's Emory doing for food?
What? No, the question of what we're
going to do with this information.
Actually, it's a square tack. What, y'all tell me?
It wasn't exactly a featherweight palooka?
(13:56):
Like a tiny old feedback. He's been out there for a whole
year and nobody bought sea rations At last.
What you've been taking on? Hey, I think.
Let's stay on topic here, people.
Sorry Sydney, our meetings aren't usually this scattered.
They are too. No need to apologize, I'm the
new kid in the class and learning the ways you all have
already established. Please go ahead.
(14:19):
This isn't exactly certified science.
Somebody jumping from one time frame to another through, well,
I guess a wormhole or null spacecorridor perhaps, but we don't
know if time there is the same as here.
Oh, here we go. Strap in, Brema, they're about.
To go all nerdy on us. No, no, Doctor James is
(14:42):
absolutely correct. Sometimes in Star Trek, the time
dilation correlation isn't always 1 to 1.
Even though 12 months has passedhere for Emory, it may have only
been two months. Or maybe 20-4 months if it moves
faster where he is. I prefer my theory.
More The point is, everybody is There are things that we
(15:03):
absolutely know and things we can only speculate on for now.
We don't know how much time has passed for Emory, but we know
he's alive. Distortion in the recording
notwithstanding, he sounded likehis old self.
He was joking about cartoons andthe first message Chris got
during Christmas, and he was joking about still being alive.
In this one, he's in good spirits.
(15:24):
Not distressed, seemingly, so this would indicate he's healthy
and not starving and safe as possible.
So let's pivot back to Zeke's question.
What do we do next? We get them back.
Well, no shit we get them back. Chris, Excuse me, Lord, but Step
1 is how the hell do we get there?
Hell, really? That's Step 2.
(15:45):
Step 1 is more like, where is there anyway?
Where is the station going to appear?
There's lots of ice out there. I assume just because you're
head of the station now doesn't necessarily mean Atlas team is
keeping you in the loop. No they are not.
I am definitely not in their secret handshake club.
I don't have any more information than the rest of
(16:07):
you. Even if they aren't bringing you
up to speed on Atlas, well golly, they must still want you
to go with them. You are the chief Engineer still
and you're already aware of the situation.
They haven't said and I don't think that they will.
None of those people going last year caused a mess of things.
I'm betting they want to put thecover back in the undercover
(16:28):
mission. So them we're still on a trip of
biscuits. Oh, oh, hey, hey, wait, wait,
wait. Hey, hey, what we do know what
like we do know is the when, right?
What? No, no, no, the when, Marshall
(16:49):
do, Sir, not the what? But still, Deputy Deuter, for
now. I'm not sure I'm following you,
Doctor Dobbers. Wait, who?
No, no, come on people, not. Who?
Not what? When Kendra.
When did Patrick get his doctorate?
Oh. I'll fill you in later, Sydney
(17:10):
Bath, sweetheart, he's saying. Even if we don't know the where,
we do know the when. I think Patrick is on to
something here. Exactly that you said when old
Doc Wainwright first filled you all in that the time travel
station appears every single year at the exact same time,
just in different places inside of an area, right?
(17:33):
Just like how my cousin Jimmy always hid his stash in his
garage from his parents but never could remember exactly
where. Why not?
Dang it now man, now I'm doing it when not where the when is
April 12th? I'm still not clear how knowing
(17:53):
the when is going to help us getEmery back.
Come on people, we got this. Exactly what Doc Jennings said.
There is what we know and what we speculate.
Keep going, Doctor Dobber. I think now I know where you're
heading. Very nice work.
OK, OK. This is so we know the bad guys
are going to be headed to there,right?
(18:15):
I mean they too know the when they have to have a way to know
the where to right? The satellite imaging system,
they're just like how I found out last year.
Couldn't we just use that systemto tell us the where like last?
Year after Doctor Wainwright discovered we knew about the
base, they took steps to lock those systems down and paid off
(18:37):
the satellite technicians to forget all about it.
Don't we issue satellite time and priorities anyway for the
station's usual research projects?
Can we just do that? Nah, it's a good idea, but there
are some areas where they black out permitted use.
That whole portion of the ice ofbig old?
No go. How?
Any requests we submitted for SAT time and set imaging has to
(18:59):
go through BOLO. They flag it for show and not
because no no. No, no, no, no.
You'll just need to open up yourminds.
Think outside of the icebox. I ain't getting hooked on no
reefer there, Polly. That stuff makes you all loopy.
And we'll send you to the Laughing Academy.
Where? Not where?
How? I don't know, third base what?
(19:22):
None of you's ever seen the app in Costello baseball?
Bit freaking classic. This would make a very
interesting paper focus now, people.
Patrick, go on and give us the how.
How to get to the where? Probably the easiest part of the
whole chimichanga, right? How will the bad guys get to the
(19:44):
where? Anybody want to guess?
First one to you guys that says.How Pow.
Right in the kiss, Alice the naughties.
Oh, Patrick, that is brilliant. Just for that, I'm going to
overlook the greenhouse core operation a couple more months.
Sweet. We tagged the Nodwell snow cats.
Wainwright and his crew will need one to get to the station,
(20:05):
and each one has an internal GPStracking device for life safety
purposes. But you have to figure that
Jocelyn would know about the GPS, find it and disable it.
She might know about the main GPS system, but I can have a
backup installed and not let anybody else know.
During the winter. We only keep one naughty active.
Not like people are driving around out there in this winter.
(20:26):
The rescue decommissioned until just before summer.
I'll grab AGPS unit out of one of the stored ones and put it in
the act of naughty. I'll also bring out one of the
others out in mothballs early, say a few days before so when
they go out we can be an hour orso behind them.
Solid plan there, Patrick. Yep, I'd say I earned my special
(20:47):
treat for the day. Oh gosh, who's going to go this
time? Me.
Heck, Chris, that was already assumed, but who else?
Oh, don't look at me, I had enough time traveling with the
Halen jumps. I'm in.
No buddy, that's not a good ideathis time.
Say what now? You're the boss now Zeke, I
(21:08):
don't know what's going to happen when we just suddenly
roll up on the Canadian station by quote UN quote coincidence.
It would help if we had a high-ranking person backing up
why we were there like the new station manager.
Protect our cover story and validate how it really was a
coincidence. He's right, Zeke, I know how
much you'd like to go, but it's probably best for you to stay
(21:29):
back this time. I'll go.
Yeah, if we're going to come up with a valid reason why I'd send
out a naughty team onto the ice in the winter, I can think of
like 2, maybe 3 reasons. But yeah, none of them would be
making sense while the head of Dark Sector was out there.
(21:50):
What if the G man wanted to takethe old doll face out for a
midnight Sonata? He's dizzy for the Dame.
Want to drive her out for some pocket, huh?
Right, Fred? 120 miles out in the cold for
sex. Oh, Catherine and I are in.
We'll make it a real swinging time.
See what I did there, Doc? Like you know how the puppet
speaks, but not you know what I'm saying?
(22:14):
Never Fred. Yeah, I don't see that one
playing out either. All right, I have some paperwork
I need to send back the chief ofstaff's aide.
Zeke, rack your brain and see what makes the most sense.
Go ahead with your plan for the GPS monitoring.
So, Sydney, you still glad we'reable to convince you to join us?
Glad I got the invite. I don't often get to witness
(22:36):
group psychosis on this magnitude.
Oh. Gosh, Doctor Bremer, we're not
fooling here. If you saw even I.
I I was joking, Thomas. I show you.
Oh. Good one, you got me.
Kendra, you OK? I'm fine honey, I just stood up
too fast. Oh, the air.
(22:57):
And here is a bit off. Patrick and I will hold back and
check the heater and ventilationsystems.
Keep me posted, but for now, I have to go figure out how we're
going to get this supply issue fixed and soon.
Time to let's hit the LOL arch on our way back.
See you all for the weekly meeting on Sunday afternoon.
(23:28):
Oh just perfect, I get one nightalone this place to run 5 miles
with my own thoughts and I have to share that gym with you.
Didn't think you'd be the type to come to the gym.
Honestly thought you were more of a watching from the shadows
type. And jog on lad, I've got a rare
(23:49):
night off and I need to burn some steam before I keep.
You don't own the gym, you know.And hey, bit past your prime for
chasing down crims, aren't you, Marshmallow?
If I knew you were going to be here, I would have brought my
headphones to drown you out. I hear your mate is making a
(24:09):
right mess of being the new station leader.
Bollocks up even the most routine of matters in his first
month on the job. You.
Think you know everything? Maybe you should focus on your
whole little job. Looks like you're stuck with it
going forward. Larry gets to promotion, not
you. No action, no fun, no future.
(24:29):
Good to say the same for you granddad.
At least I'm not legging it after dodgy old blokes with
warrants and weak knees, hey? Surprise you if you notice with
how absent you are most days offdoing whatever government lackey
things those with real power in the DIA had the lackey piss
hands do. Oh come on, pass.
(24:50):
As insults go, that isn't even on the pitch.
You've thrown better skip passesin your time.
I think a man in his what 60s could do better.
You're so cute when you're trying to act like you matter.
I mean, am I staying right? That most exciting part of your
day? It's making sure your boss
Wainwright's coffee order is correct.
(25:12):
The term is client, not a boss, you tosser.
My paycheck still comes from theDoD, not Beauregard Lowing.
I don't work for Wainwright. Client.
I thought the term was a John. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, that's for
prostitutes. No, that's right.
Still not even close to top tierinsults.
(25:35):
Granddad, I'm embarrassed for you, but then again rumour has
it your performance has been suffering all around, even late
at night with the good doctor. Don't be ashamed marshmallow.
Loss of stamina happens to most lads in their winter years.
I can promise you there aren't any complaints.
(25:58):
My stamina is just as strong as my resolve to make sure nothing
you and your pals are doing downhere puts anybody in danger.
You know, sometimes it's not about the action.
Some of us like working in an agency that doesn't burn out its
(26:20):
marshals by running them into the ground.
I mean, look at you, Mar, thoughyou're practically dust.
I'm surprised your knees aren't aching.
Right, sure, you say that. Now you just wait.
The corporate world won't be so shiny when you find yourself out
of the DIA People like you don'thave any.
Stay in power, Jocelyn. You're disposable.
(26:43):
Disposable. Oh please, at least I've got a
purpose, something worth fighting for.
You can't seem to go 2 weeks without somebody trying to kill
you. Must be that yank charm you
ooze. Should probably see to that and
not worry about things that don't concern you, I mean.
Really. You've been playing this lone
(27:05):
wolf routine for as long as I'veknown you.
How many funerals have you been to recently?
Or it's just the same old peopleyou can't help anymore on.
The other one who's got no one. In her life.
To even notice when she's gone. Who's going to care when you get
(27:25):
that promotion? A cat houseplant?
Your imaginary friends. Funny, I'd say you're the one
who will be alone. Who's going to want you when
you've got 1 foot in the grave, huh?
You're old news, Bass. You just haven't realized it
yet. And that's just why you're still
(27:46):
wearing that body camera for exercising.
Do you ever take it off? Oh please do tell me you don't
have it on while you snog your doctor Jennings.
Nobody wants to see geriatric groping of a young girl half his
age. Oh, you'd be surprised is what
you can pick up on these things when you aren't expecting it.
(28:07):
Little tidbits here and there that people let slip when they
think they're not being paid attention to.
Comes in handy, truly. And Kendra isn't 25.
But I'll pass along the compliment.
Well that must be why you're here.
Keep the heart in shape and don't pop your clogs after the
workout she gives you. Sorry, almost lost.
(28:31):
I almost lost my dinner thinkingabout all that Gray hair I saw
with you. 2 did the 300 Club run.
She looked phenomenal, by the way.
Very delectable. Careful marshmallow.
I might be tempted to take another one of your toys from
you, like in Cincinnati. All right.
(28:54):
Forgot you liked ACDC. You know, I'm surprised with
having so many choices for a lover.
Can't ever seem to find anybody.Sure would be a shame for you to
die alone in an old age. Forgotten Only Remembered is a
footnote in Wainwright's self-righteous, inevitable
autobiography. Honey, I'd say you're the one
(29:16):
who'll be alone. Who's going to want you when
you're gumming your way through meals and drooling non-stop.
You're past your prime. We just haven't realized it yet.
And if we're being honest, I'm not sure why I should be taking
love advice from you after the way your last relationship
ended. And you?
(29:45):
You think people give a shit about you at your level?
People like you always think you're climbing.
Guess what? You're still stuck with the same
tiny position, same lonely routine, and no one to back you
up. That's the job you've chosen,
right? Alone at the top of nothing.
I'm not alone. I've got something much better
(30:07):
than anything you've ever had, Bass.
I've got stability, a future. So it's not glamorous, but at
least I'm not chasing ghosts with one foot in the past and
the other in the orbits. Would you you really convince
yourself of that? You convince yourself that your
ghost secret agent job matters. You're the one who's chasing an
(30:31):
empty future, Jocelyn. You keep thinking there,
marshmallow. You keep thinking that I'm just
a nobody. Meanwhile, I'll be on my feet
when your body's too busted in to catch anyone.
But hey, maybe that's all you'vegot left.
Your pride. I still got plenty left, and
(30:52):
you'll see that when you're alone and forgotten.
You mean like you were after Diane?
Nope, more like Charlie refused to choose you over his wife.
Some people aren't simply worthyof love.
I guess it crossed the line.
(31:35):
That was over the line. It went too far that time, man.
Recording stopped. March 10th, 2023.
Current time is O 718 hours. This is Supervisory Deputy
Marshall Bass Marlowe reporting no active investigation.
(31:55):
We're four weeks into the winterseason and things are starting
to slide in their natural routines.
On station. I'm continuing my conversations
and preparation efforts with Miss Sally Kirkland with the
President's Chief of Staff office.
Late yesterday I received word the Judicial Review Committee
officially received all the paperwork and details they need
to conduct their thorough reviews.
(32:16):
In speaking with Marshall Murphy, she said the amount of
hoops I've been jumping through is not anywhere close to the
background of paperwork she had to fill out for the Senate
confirmation. I'm fairly sure the volume of
data has to do with whatever thePresident and his cohorts have
planned to try to get my nomination rejected.
Sydney said. It's best not to make a mountain
out of a paperwork molehill justyet.
(32:37):
To sit back and wait and see what the next step should be
without overthinking it. Yeah, good luck with that one.
Best. The hearing to begin the formal
review of the nominations hasn'tbeen scheduled yet, Miss
Kirkland says. We're still around 6 to 8 weeks
away most likely. Most times the Senate board will
review non cabinet level nominees and Paul can issue a
(32:58):
blanket approval or rejection. She did say it wasn't unusual
for one nominee to be reviewed separately if there was
something of concern in the background.
Gee, I hope that doesn't happen to me.
We're well, I should say the gang is getting ready and
preparing for the next month forevents which I really can't get
(33:20):
into on an official recording. Sydney has acclimated himself
very easily into our team and nosurprise, that crew all love
having him there. I know we're all adults, but
Sydney is that calm, cool voice of adult reason that the rest of
us can lack sometimes. And as far as I go, he's a
perfect balance of wisdom and knowledge to my knee jerk
(33:43):
reactions and spontaneity. Yes, even I can fact be
spontaneous. I need to be.
Oh Happy Day. A huge stack of flapjacks and
Craig Kelly, everybody. You're not the only answer.
Physicist who writes a big stackof flapjacks, Neil Suck, a
Professor degrasse Pluto hater punk Ash.
(34:09):
As you probably heard, the supply snafu issues have been
addressed and I have to hand it to my best buddy Zeke.
He really went outside the box for this fix, he figured, since
Mr. Kelly was the most efficientperson on the station and Cheryl
Lynn has all the gossip and knows what's going on.
But the two of them could work together to get supply lists
down to the arches for everything needed.
And it's only been 24 hours so far, but damn if it isn't
(34:31):
working. He's put in for a season
logistics pro to be hired on at the start of the summer as a
permanent fix, but for now this seems to be a Band-Aid solution
that will hold until then. Getting more from Josh Nichols
since the winter season started and none of us accepted his
ultimatum of leaving or else what I've seen I can't say that
(34:55):
I'm too. Surprised.
Bragging for the sake of bragging isn't his style.
No, I have no doubt he'll be back in contact again, but it'll
be part of something much larger.
So for now, we'll just take things day by day while we wait
for the other shoe to drop. Hi Brian Bradley, you're creator

(36:46):
This has been a BM. B Production.
But above all else, I want to make sure everybody takes
precautions and observes safety procedures in advance of the ice
feet coming back for the season.Bomb balls, Adam took all the
valuables and them, Keska said. Fragile little things out of
them. Summer huts.
No worry there. We're going to chain them doors
up real tight like a crawfish, boil it and make sure all them
(01:03):
Gator lights are charged up to full burst fire crew is on the
job fire. Crew OK remember that nobody
walks over to or back from any of the science stations without
a buddy and a strong light radioin.
If you see here, most likely smell any ice feet around.
Bambos. OK, what else we got Tommy?
(01:26):
Satellite time for research project.
Right, right, right. OK Doctor, Jovac and I posted
the schedule for the next 4 weeks and allotted equal time
and base priority access againstthe schedules all departments
submitted. Y'all need to keep in mind we're
about 8 weeks out from lawman incentive review.
If any gets called to testify. There may be a need to rotate
schedules to accommodate, but we'll deal with that as it gets
(01:46):
closer. Pancakes not, not yet.
Doc almost always missing out onpancakes with these Dang boring
things, Flapjack's notwithstanding, it appreciate
you rotating schedules for me. See, let's see Next up.
A pod maintenance. Say what now?
A pod is due for mechanical and operational inspections.
(02:08):
No, I know what it is. Tell me who authorized that.
This is the first I'm hearing ofit and I'm the chief.
Oh, it was, was. Oh, I'm Keenan.
Up here, less than a month, and he's already gone for my job.
You know what? OK, All right.
If young boy going to schedule like he's in charge, he can be
(02:29):
in charge. Inspection, Make a note in the
duty roster that he's on point for the work.
Oh, Lucille is going to love this one.
Oh, hey there, Seek, I have a question for you.
Go ahead, Miss Alice. Well, now I don't want to be no
bother and I am sure as shouldn't appreciate and all the
hard work you folks are doing down there in the Arches, but
(02:51):
well we've been having problems with the food deliveries coming
up. What you talking about this Lady
Alice? Well, we're sending our weekly
grocery list down to the logistics arch, but well, we
don't always get the goodies we send down for.
And I really want to make you all my famous frog eye salad.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, what? She said.
(03:15):
You know, we asked for more Icy Hot for the gym and we got some
girly smell and body lotion. Is that why you smell like my
aunt Lola Francine? When will the decaf coffee be
replaced? Anytime.
Soon we ordered more printer paper and got 3 ring binders.
Pancakes. I see it people, I do promise.
(03:36):
Give me a day to figure this out, and we'll see about getting
the logistics arts to be more accurate with the shipments up
from the Arches. For right now, please give Tommy
a list of anything critical you need or don't have, and we'll
get them to you quickly. Is that cool?
OK then. Well, I think that's all we have
today then. Thanks for coming by and I'll
(03:57):
see you on the flip side, man, you'll get this figured out,
buddy. You're still getting used to the
new role and responsibilities. Don't beat yourself up.
No, I I get along man, I do. It's just some of the big
changes hitting all at once. You know this gig from
Wainwright to me. You become a Marshall.
All the presence restrictions onforeign national last minute
(04:19):
staffing changes. I'm not saying I expected this
to be easy, but I wasn't thinking there would be a
stacked deck either. I don't know.
I'd call this a stacked deck. Exactly.
I mean, to me it looks more likeyou stepped in to help fill a
gap. Oh, I stepped in.
All right, look, we get changes around here, Bass.
No arguing that. Just not so many big ones all at
(04:42):
once. You know, if and I didn't know
better if and you didn't know any better.
What I'd say it's the ice makingthings go faster.
The ice how? Oh, don't sit there and look at
me like you don't see some hand or force controlling things down
here. Like I have all the answers.
Look, I'm not saying things downhere aren't unusual, but
(05:05):
sometimes things are just the way they are.
No mystery or higher purpose. Just life doesn't mean that fate
or the ice or God. Careful now alone, man.
I was going to say that none of them are necessarily messing
with you or us. What's that saying?
God doesn't give you more than you can handle.
Yeah. Spoiler alert, that ain't
(05:26):
nowhere in the Bible. It's a misquote, Paul.
And you know what? They've gone that old for now.
All right, then tell me what I can do to help seek.
You know I'll do it. I appreciate that.
Bess, can you give me a couple hours to come up with some plan?
And if I need anything, then I will.
Hey, guys. Thomas.
Sorry, I'm sorry. It's well, you better listen to
(05:47):
this. One of the Dexter's was
reviewing incoming radio logs from last month before deleting
them. They flagged this just now.
It came in on the last official day of summer season which we
were celebrating the return of Sydney and everything else.
Now do I please confirm transmission transmitting?
Confirm. I don't know if this is going to
(06:12):
work. I'm trying random phase shifts
and it says Scott can you read me this is Emory water still not
dead. Urgent message.
This line has been altered. Losing carrier wave stability.
Bell bath do not remain on station leave before the winter
(06:35):
season in the last plane or everybody dies.
Why are we just being given thisnow?
Gosh, it came in after last flight departed.
Even if we had heard it, there would have been no way out.
Oh great, now on top of this, I'm going to get blamed for
everybody dying. Anything else go wrong today,
(06:57):
Lord? Want to have me persecuted for
anything else while you're at it.
Just wanted to say thanks Zeke, while we're here.
So long. They brown out pancakes in the
galley. Logistics didn't sound enough
better. I'm having a bad day.
I bet they'd have pancakes if Neil deGrasse Tyson were here.
Recording stopped. Good morning y'all and I hope
(07:27):
all my pollies are doing wonderful this morning.
Today is Thursday, March 9th andit's O 900 on the tip.
This is Miss Cheryl Lynn here with your South Pole daily
announcements. Oh now listen up.
If you've been wanting to spike that volleyball or dive for the
save, now's your chance. The Amundsen aspects are having
(07:51):
their tryouts this week, so markyour calendars because we're
gathering at 1600 sharp on Saturday for some good old
fashioned competition. Coach Glenn's been working hard
to get us ready for the summer 2023 season, but he did ask me
to kindly remind team captain Landry that we might want to lay
off the Cajun hoodoo curses thisyear, especially when we're
(08:13):
playing against the Murdo Mud Dogs.
We want a fair game, not one where the other team gets struck
by an unexpected swarm of locusts or something.
So bring your A game, but leave the hexes at home.
Let's see who's got the chops tomake the team.
All right folks, y'all ready fora little entertainment to kick
(08:34):
off the evening? If you're looking to watch
something that'll make you scratch your head and maybe even
question your life choices, we've got 2 movies lined up
tonight that'll fit the bill. First up at 1900, we've got The
Enchanted Llama, a film the critics have been calling the
most baffling train wreck of 2022.
(08:55):
If you enjoy watching CGI llamastrying to solve crime while
inexplicably bursting into song,this one's for you.
Then at 2100, we've got Jurassicwerewolves, which is exactly
what it sounds like. A bunch of werewolves who've
somehow gotten their paws on dinosaurs.
It's as wild as it sounds, and it's been called a cinematic
(09:16):
nightmare, but hey, maybe you'reinto that kind of thing.
You can catch them in the B1 lounge if you're feeling brave
enough to sit through them. Oh, look at this.
Now we've got some big news fromthe National Science Foundation.
Yep, they're looking for input on the upcoming major station
upgrades as part of what they'recalling the South Pole Station
(09:39):
Master Plan, or SPSMP. That's a whole lot of letters,
but what it means is that they're going to be modernizing
the station and putting in some shiny new infrastructure to
support the future of science here at the South Pole.
They'll be considering everything from the
redevelopment of existing buildings to possibly putting up
some new ones. And they want to hear from you,
(10:00):
the people who live work here, about what it make your
day-to-day life a little easier or better.
Now I reckon some of y'all mighthave some wild ideas, but let me
give you a couple to start us off.
How about a professional cornhole stadium or even a fancy
ballroom for all our parties andevents.
But seriously, send in your thoughts because they're
(10:22):
listening. Oh boy, I sure hope you're ready
for a mighty fine meal today because Lunch Lady Alice got
some good eating lined up for you.
So gather around and let me tellyou what we've got cooking for
lunch and supper today. For lunch we're serving up two
real tasty options. First up, we got fried chicken,
(10:43):
crispy, golden. And just like Mama used to make,
we've also got side of mashed potatoes with gravy.
And don't forget the buttermilk biscuit honey.
Now, if you're looking for something a little lighter,
we've got a grilled chicken salad with all the fixings,
fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a nice ranch
dressing to top it off. And for all my vegetarians out
(11:05):
there, we're taking care of y'all too.
We've got a vegetable stir fry made with all kinds of fresh
veggies, zucchini, Peppers, and onions tossed in a sweet soy
glaze. You won't be missing the meat, I
promise. Or you can try our stuffed
Portobello mushrooms filled witha hearty mix of quinoa, spinach
and cheese and mate to perfection.
(11:26):
Now for dinner tonight, we've got two more options that'll
make your taste buds do a happy little dance.
First, we've got a slow cooked pot roast with all the
trimmings, carrots, potatoes andonions cooked just right.
Y'all, this is comfort food at its finest.
If you're in the mood for something a little lighter, try
our grilled salmon served with wild rice and steamed broccoli.
(11:48):
It's a nice, healthy choice that'll fill you up without
slowing you down. And for my vegetarians?
Again, don't worry, Alice has you covered.
A veggie lasagna made with layers of tender pasta, ricotta
cheese, spinach and marinara sauce.
Or how about a chickpea and spinach Curry?
It's got a nice spicy kick and come served over a bed of
(12:11):
Jasmine rice. Finally, I have an announcement
from our new station manager, Ezekiel Bustamante.
Please submit a list of any sundries y'all need to Thomas so
we can work to get the supply distribution problem solved as
quickly as possible. He wants to thank all of you for
(12:31):
being patient while he and many others are getting acclimated to
their new jobs and responsibilities.
He's going to work to get all the static cleared up as quick
as he can. Bless his heart.
So there you go, you take Care now my polies.
Y'all need anything between now and my announcements tomorrow.
(12:51):
Y'all just holler at me or Mr. Kelly.
You have a wonderful and blessedday.
Thank you. Or everybody died.
That was a message OP Center recorded a month ago.
(13:13):
So the little Crunch Berry is still alive after all.
Good for him. Kind of a scary message though.
We're all going to die if Bass doesn't leave the station or
didn't leave the station before winter started.
I was able to intercept it before the Dexter who first
heard it logged it in Doctor Jovak Wainwright.
None of the Atlas team knows this exists yet.
(13:36):
And I want to keep it that way. It's no sense in letting them in
on this. It does, however, beg the
question. Right.
Like what's Emory doing for food?
What? No, the question of what we're
going to do with this information.
Actually, it's a square tack. What, y'all tell me?
It wasn't exactly a featherweight palooka?
(13:56):
Like a tiny old feedback. He's been out there for a whole
year and nobody bought sea rations At last.
What you've been taking on? Hey, I think.
Let's stay on topic here, people.
Sorry Sydney, our meetings aren't usually this scattered.
They are too. No need to apologize, I'm the
new kid in the class and learning the ways you all have
already established. Please go ahead.
(14:19):
This isn't exactly certified science.
Somebody jumping from one time frame to another through, well,
I guess a wormhole or null spacecorridor perhaps, but we don't
know if time there is the same as here.
Oh, here we go. Strap in, Brema, they're about.
To go all nerdy on us. No, no, Doctor James is
(14:42):
absolutely correct. Sometimes in Star Trek, the time
dilation correlation isn't always 1 to 1.
Even though 12 months has passedhere for Emory, it may have only
been two months. Or maybe 20-4 months if it moves
faster where he is. I prefer my theory.
More The point is, everybody is There are things that we
(15:03):
absolutely know and things we can only speculate on for now.
We don't know how much time has passed for Emory, but we know
he's alive. Distortion in the recording
notwithstanding, he sounded likehis old self.
He was joking about cartoons andthe first message Chris got
during Christmas, and he was joking about still being alive.
In this one, he's in good spirits.
(15:24):
Not distressed, seemingly, so this would indicate he's healthy
and not starving and safe as possible.
So let's pivot back to Zeke's question.
What do we do next? We get them back.
Well, no shit we get them back. Chris, Excuse me, Lord, but Step
1 is how the hell do we get there?
Hell, really? That's Step 2.
(15:45):
Step 1 is more like, where is there anyway?
Where is the station going to appear?
There's lots of ice out there. I assume just because you're
head of the station now doesn't necessarily mean Atlas team is
keeping you in the loop. No they are not.
I am definitely not in their secret handshake club.
I don't have any more information than the rest of
(16:07):
you. Even if they aren't bringing you
up to speed on Atlas, well golly, they must still want you
to go with them. You are the chief Engineer still
and you're already aware of the situation.
They haven't said and I don't think that they will.
None of those people going last year caused a mess of things.
I'm betting they want to put thecover back in the undercover
(16:28):
mission. So them we're still on a trip of
biscuits. Oh, oh, hey, hey, wait, wait,
wait. Hey, hey, what we do know what
like we do know is the when, right?
What? No, no, no, the when, Marshall
(16:49):
do, Sir, not the what? But still, Deputy Deuter, for
now. I'm not sure I'm following you,
Doctor Dobbers. Wait, who?
No, no, come on people, not. Who?
Not what? When Kendra.
When did Patrick get his doctorate?
Oh. I'll fill you in later, Sydney
(17:10):
Bath, sweetheart, he's saying. Even if we don't know the where,
we do know the when. I think Patrick is on to
something here. Exactly that you said when old
Doc Wainwright first filled you all in that the time travel
station appears every single year at the exact same time,
just in different places inside of an area, right?
(17:33):
Just like how my cousin Jimmy always hid his stash in his
garage from his parents but never could remember exactly
where. Why not?
Dang it now man, now I'm doing it when not where the when is
April 12th? I'm still not clear how knowing
(17:53):
the when is going to help us getEmery back.
Come on people, we got this. Exactly what Doc Jennings said.
There is what we know and what we speculate.
Keep going, Doctor Dobber. I think now I know where you're
heading. Very nice work.
OK, OK. This is so we know the bad guys
are going to be headed to there,right?
(18:15):
I mean they too know the when they have to have a way to know
the where to right? The satellite imaging system,
they're just like how I found out last year.
Couldn't we just use that systemto tell us the where like last?
Year after Doctor Wainwright discovered we knew about the
base, they took steps to lock those systems down and paid off
(18:37):
the satellite technicians to forget all about it.
Don't we issue satellite time and priorities anyway for the
station's usual research projects?
Can we just do that? Nah, it's a good idea, but there
are some areas where they black out permitted use.
That whole portion of the ice ofbig old?
No go. How?
Any requests we submitted for SAT time and set imaging has to
(18:59):
go through BOLO. They flag it for show and not
because no no. No, no, no, no.
You'll just need to open up yourminds.
Think outside of the icebox. I ain't getting hooked on no
reefer there, Polly. That stuff makes you all loopy.
And we'll send you to the Laughing Academy.
Where? Not where?
How? I don't know, third base what?
(19:22):
None of you's ever seen the app in Costello baseball?
Bit freaking classic. This would make a very
interesting paper focus now, people.
Patrick, go on and give us the how.
How to get to the where? Probably the easiest part of the
whole chimichanga, right? How will the bad guys get to the
(19:44):
where? Anybody want to guess?
First one to you guys that says.How Pow.
Right in the kiss, Alice the naughties.
Oh, Patrick, that is brilliant. Just for that, I'm going to
overlook the greenhouse core operation a couple more months.
Sweet. We tagged the Nodwell snow cats.
Wainwright and his crew will need one to get to the station,
(20:05):
and each one has an internal GPStracking device for life safety
purposes. But you have to figure that
Jocelyn would know about the GPS, find it and disable it.
She might know about the main GPS system, but I can have a
backup installed and not let anybody else know.
During the winter. We only keep one naughty active.
Not like people are driving around out there in this winter.
(20:26):
The rescue decommissioned until just before summer.
I'll grab AGPS unit out of one of the stored ones and put it in
the act of naughty. I'll also bring out one of the
others out in mothballs early, say a few days before so when
they go out we can be an hour orso behind them.
Solid plan there, Patrick. Yep, I'd say I earned my special
(20:47):
treat for the day. Oh gosh, who's going to go this
time? Me.
Heck, Chris, that was already assumed, but who else?
Oh, don't look at me, I had enough time traveling with the
Halen jumps. I'm in.
No buddy, that's not a good ideathis time.
Say what now? You're the boss now Zeke, I
(21:08):
don't know what's going to happen when we just suddenly
roll up on the Canadian station by quote UN quote coincidence.
It would help if we had a high-ranking person backing up
why we were there like the new station manager.
Protect our cover story and validate how it really was a
coincidence. He's right, Zeke, I know how
much you'd like to go, but it's probably best for you to stay
(21:29):
back this time. I'll go.
Yeah, if we're going to come up with a valid reason why I'd send
out a naughty team onto the ice in the winter, I can think of
like 2, maybe 3 reasons. But yeah, none of them would be
making sense while the head of Dark Sector was out there.
(21:50):
What if the G man wanted to takethe old doll face out for a
midnight Sonata? He's dizzy for the Dame.
Want to drive her out for some pocket, huh?
Right, Fred? 120 miles out in the cold for
sex. Oh, Catherine and I are in.
We'll make it a real swinging time.
See what I did there, Doc? Like you know how the puppet
speaks, but not you know what I'm saying?
(22:14):
Never Fred. Yeah, I don't see that one
playing out either. All right, I have some paperwork
I need to send back the chief ofstaff's aide.
Zeke, rack your brain and see what makes the most sense.
Go ahead with your plan for the GPS monitoring.
So, Sydney, you still glad we'reable to convince you to join us?
Glad I got the invite. I don't often get to witness
(22:36):
group psychosis on this magnitude.
Oh. Gosh, Doctor Bremer, we're not
fooling here. If you saw even I.
I I was joking, Thomas. I show you.
Oh. Good one, you got me.
Kendra, you OK? I'm fine honey, I just stood up
too fast. Oh, the air.
(22:57):
And here is a bit off. Patrick and I will hold back and
check the heater and ventilationsystems.
Keep me posted, but for now, I have to go figure out how we're
going to get this supply issue fixed and soon.
Time to let's hit the LOL arch on our way back.
See you all for the weekly meeting on Sunday afternoon.
(23:28):
Oh just perfect, I get one nightalone this place to run 5 miles
with my own thoughts and I have to share that gym with you.
Didn't think you'd be the type to come to the gym.
Honestly thought you were more of a watching from the shadows
type. And jog on lad, I've got a rare
(23:49):
night off and I need to burn some steam before I keep.
You don't own the gym, you know.And hey, bit past your prime for
chasing down crims, aren't you, Marshmallow?
If I knew you were going to be here, I would have brought my
headphones to drown you out. I hear your mate is making a
(24:09):
right mess of being the new station leader.
Bollocks up even the most routine of matters in his first
month on the job. You.
Think you know everything? Maybe you should focus on your
whole little job. Looks like you're stuck with it
going forward. Larry gets to promotion, not
you. No action, no fun, no future.
(24:29):
Good to say the same for you granddad.
At least I'm not legging it after dodgy old blokes with
warrants and weak knees, hey? Surprise you if you notice with
how absent you are most days offdoing whatever government lackey
things those with real power in the DIA had the lackey piss
hands do. Oh come on, pass.
(24:50):
As insults go, that isn't even on the pitch.
You've thrown better skip passesin your time.
I think a man in his what 60s could do better.
You're so cute when you're trying to act like you matter.
I mean, am I staying right? That most exciting part of your
day? It's making sure your boss
Wainwright's coffee order is correct.
(25:12):
The term is client, not a boss, you tosser.
My paycheck still comes from theDoD, not Beauregard Lowing.
I don't work for Wainwright. Client.
I thought the term was a John. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, that's for
prostitutes. No, that's right.
Still not even close to top tierinsults.
(25:35):
Granddad, I'm embarrassed for you, but then again rumour has
it your performance has been suffering all around, even late
at night with the good doctor. Don't be ashamed marshmallow.
Loss of stamina happens to most lads in their winter years.
I can promise you there aren't any complaints.
(25:58):
My stamina is just as strong as my resolve to make sure nothing
you and your pals are doing downhere puts anybody in danger.
You know, sometimes it's not about the action.
Some of us like working in an agency that doesn't burn out its
(26:20):
marshals by running them into the ground.
I mean, look at you, Mar, thoughyou're practically dust.
I'm surprised your knees aren't aching.
Right, sure, you say that. Now you just wait.
The corporate world won't be so shiny when you find yourself out
of the DIA People like you don'thave any.
Stay in power, Jocelyn. You're disposable.
(26:43):
Disposable. Oh please, at least I've got a
purpose, something worth fighting for.
You can't seem to go 2 weeks without somebody trying to kill
you. Must be that yank charm you
ooze. Should probably see to that and
not worry about things that don't concern you, I mean.
Really. You've been playing this lone
(27:05):
wolf routine for as long as I'veknown you.
How many funerals have you been to recently?
Or it's just the same old peopleyou can't help anymore on.
The other one who's got no one. In her life.
To even notice when she's gone. Who's going to care when you get
(27:25):
that promotion? A cat houseplant?
Your imaginary friends. Funny, I'd say you're the one
who will be alone. Who's going to want you when
you've got 1 foot in the grave, huh?
You're old news, Bass. You just haven't realized it
yet. And that's just why you're still
(27:46):
wearing that body camera for exercising.
Do you ever take it off? Oh please do tell me you don't
have it on while you snog your doctor Jennings.
Nobody wants to see geriatric groping of a young girl half his
age. Oh, you'd be surprised is what
you can pick up on these things when you aren't expecting it.
(28:07):
Little tidbits here and there that people let slip when they
think they're not being paid attention to.
Comes in handy, truly. And Kendra isn't 25.
But I'll pass along the compliment.
Well that must be why you're here.
Keep the heart in shape and don't pop your clogs after the
workout she gives you. Sorry, almost lost.
(28:31):
I almost lost my dinner thinkingabout all that Gray hair I saw
with you. 2 did the 300 Club run.
She looked phenomenal, by the way.
Very delectable. Careful marshmallow.
I might be tempted to take another one of your toys from
you, like in Cincinnati. All right.
(28:54):
Forgot you liked ACDC. You know, I'm surprised with
having so many choices for a lover.
Can't ever seem to find anybody.Sure would be a shame for you to
die alone in an old age. Forgotten Only Remembered is a
footnote in Wainwright's self-righteous, inevitable
autobiography. Honey, I'd say you're the one
(29:16):
who'll be alone. Who's going to want you when
you're gumming your way through meals and drooling non-stop.
You're past your prime. We just haven't realized it yet.
And if we're being honest, I'm not sure why I should be taking
love advice from you after the way your last relationship
ended. And you?
(29:45):
You think people give a shit about you at your level?
People like you always think you're climbing.
Guess what? You're still stuck with the same
tiny position, same lonely routine, and no one to back you
up. That's the job you've chosen,
right? Alone at the top of nothing.
I'm not alone. I've got something much better
(30:07):
than anything you've ever had, Bass.
I've got stability, a future. So it's not glamorous, but at
least I'm not chasing ghosts with one foot in the past and
the other in the orbits. Would you you really convince
yourself of that? You convince yourself that your
ghost secret agent job matters. You're the one who's chasing an
(30:31):
empty future, Jocelyn. You keep thinking there,
marshmallow. You keep thinking that I'm just
a nobody. Meanwhile, I'll be on my feet
when your body's too busted in to catch anyone.
But hey, maybe that's all you'vegot left.
Your pride. I still got plenty left, and
(30:52):
you'll see that when you're alone and forgotten.
You mean like you were after Diane?
Nope, more like Charlie refused to choose you over his wife.
Some people aren't simply worthyof love.
I guess it crossed the line.
(31:35):
That was over the line. It went too far that time, man.
Recording stopped. March 10th, 2023.
Current time is O 718 hours. This is Supervisory Deputy
Marshall Bass Marlowe reporting no active investigation.
(31:55):
We're four weeks into the winterseason and things are starting
to slide in their natural routines.
On station. I'm continuing my conversations
and preparation efforts with Miss Sally Kirkland with the
President's Chief of Staff office.
Late yesterday I received word the Judicial Review Committee
officially received all the paperwork and details they need
to conduct their thorough reviews.
(32:16):
In speaking with Marshall Murphy, she said the amount of
hoops I've been jumping through is not anywhere close to the
background of paperwork she had to fill out for the Senate
confirmation. I'm fairly sure the volume of
data has to do with whatever thePresident and his cohorts have
planned to try to get my nomination rejected.
Sydney said. It's best not to make a mountain
out of a paperwork molehill justyet.
(32:37):
To sit back and wait and see what the next step should be
without overthinking it. Yeah, good luck with that one.
Best. The hearing to begin the formal
review of the nominations hasn'tbeen scheduled yet, Miss
Kirkland says. We're still around 6 to 8 weeks
away most likely. Most times the Senate board will
review non cabinet level nominees and Paul can issue a
(32:58):
blanket approval or rejection. She did say it wasn't unusual
for one nominee to be reviewed separately if there was
something of concern in the background.
Gee, I hope that doesn't happen to me.
We're well, I should say the gang is getting ready and
preparing for the next month forevents which I really can't get
(33:20):
into on an official recording. Sydney has acclimated himself
very easily into our team and nosurprise, that crew all love
having him there. I know we're all adults, but
Sydney is that calm, cool voice of adult reason that the rest of
us can lack sometimes. And as far as I go, he's a
perfect balance of wisdom and knowledge to my knee jerk
(33:43):
reactions and spontaneity. Yes, even I can fact be
spontaneous. I need to be.
Oh Happy Day. A huge stack of flapjacks and
Craig Kelly, everybody. You're not the only answer.
Physicist who writes a big stackof flapjacks, Neil Suck, a
Professor degrasse Pluto hater punk Ash.
(34:09):
As you probably heard, the supply snafu issues have been
addressed and I have to hand it to my best buddy Zeke.
He really went outside the box for this fix, he figured, since
Mr. Kelly was the most efficientperson on the station and Cheryl
Lynn has all the gossip and knows what's going on.
But the two of them could work together to get supply lists
down to the arches for everything needed.
And it's only been 24 hours so far, but damn if it isn't
(34:31):
working. He's put in for a season
logistics pro to be hired on at the start of the summer as a
permanent fix, but for now this seems to be a Band-Aid solution
that will hold until then. Getting more from Josh Nichols
since the winter season started and none of us accepted his
ultimatum of leaving or else what I've seen I can't say that
(34:55):
I'm too. Surprised.
Bragging for the sake of bragging isn't his style.
No, I have no doubt he'll be back in contact again, but it'll
be part of something much larger.
So for now, we'll just take things day by day while we wait
for the other shoe to drop. Hi Brian Bradley, you're creator
